> In other words, let's suppose the old Friendster social network was structured as "non-profit-board-controlling-a-for-profit-Friendster" like OpenAI. The ideals of the "non-profit being in control" is a moot point when a competitor like Facebook makes non-profit-Friendster irrelevant.

This feels like it's missing a really really important point, which is that in this analogy, the mission of the non-profit would be something like, "Make social media available to all of humanity without advertising or negative externalities", and the for-profit plans to do advertising to compete with Facebook.

The for-profit's only plan for making money goes directly against the goals of the nonprofit. That's the problem. Who cares if it's competitive if the point of the competition is to destroy the things the non-profit stands for?

> LLMs today can already automate many desk jobs.

No they can't because they make stuff up, fail to follow directions, need to be minutely supervised, all output checked and workflow integrated with your companies shitty over complicated procedures and systems.

This makes them suitable at best as an assistant to your current worker or more likely an input for your foo as a service which will be consumed by your current worker. In the ideal case this helps increase the output of your worker and means you will need less of them.

An even greater likelihood is someone dishonest at some company will convince someone stupid at your company that it will be more efficacious and less expensive than it will ultimately be leading your company to spend a mint trying to save money. They will spend more than they save with the expectation of being able to lay off some of their workers with the net result of increasing workload on workers and shifting money upward to the firms exploiting executives too stupid to recognize snake oil.

See outsourcing to underperforming overseas workers because the desirable workers who could have ably done the work are A) in management because it pays more B) in country or working remotely for real money or C) cost almost as much as locals once the increased costs of doing it externally are factored in.
Cool! Is there historical data available? It'd be cool to have a slider to go back in time and maybe loop over the data over a specific range to show how it evolves.

If you want an easy solution that makes good financial sense for the companies training AIs, then it's censorship.

Not training the AIs to be racist in the first place would be the optimal solution, though I think the companies would go bankrupt before pruning every bit of systemic racism from the training data.

I don't believe censorship is effective though. The censorship itself is being used by racists as "proof" that the white race is under attack. It's literally being used to perpetuate racism.

Cathedrals of Meaning (2024)
As with the rest of the corporations who hire immigrants, it's "deportations for thee, but keep the workers for me"; deport everyone else's workers, but not mine.

I'd be more OK with Musk's and Ramaswamy's demands if the H1-B structure were changed so that workers could change jobs at will once here. As it is, they are effectively indentured servants, and are only (ab)used because they can lower wage costs.

Until 99% of all US tech workers are fully as employed as they want to be and can send out a resume and get multiple interviews in days, there is zero reason to hire overseas (other than trying to exploit workers). When highly educated, experienced, and qualified US tech workers can go months sending out resumes without so much as a nibble, yet corporations are onboarding as many H1Bs as they can, there is something deeply wrong with the system.

[edit; add:] And yes, there should be room for the truly exceptional people from overseas who WILL actually help the US make great progress, but they are actually being crowded out by the current corrupt exploitative H1-B process. Making it competitive so H1-B employees can leave at will for another employer (possibly after a reasonable waiting/working period of months) would also help make the system better advance the US technology position in several ways.

Timewizard post is dead so I respond here. Disclaimer I should have put above: It was my first and only time I worked on a big ship. My position was deckhand but had the chance to learn a lot from others crew members.

> This is not remotely representative of "boats."

I talked about the consumption with the first mate and he wasn’t surprised. He’s a long time sailor. I’m sure there is a variety of boat types but I don’t think we were representative of those that consume the most.

> Were you on a ice cutter or a research ship?

It wasn’t an ice cutter. We were sailing mostly around The Channel (France/UK) so "average" air temperature (~ 5-15 celcius)

> This is why they made anchors and why sailboats can function even without power

If the seabed is too deep you can’t. Also dropping or pulling a big anchor isn’t trivial: you need to find the right spot (wind, currents, coast rocks, seabed material…), do some calculation for chain length, some deckhands to operate it, time to drop it slow enough and not destroy your boat (see anchor fails on YouTube) and sometimes a few trials to "anchor" the anchor (it can drift of above parameter we’re not optimal). Also there’s always a chance to break the chain during the process. I’m sure all of this is easier or even trivial for smaller boats or in easy condition like an archipel with not much wind, waves or current.

Sailboats are great but another level of navigation techniques.

Also, you don’t completely shut down the engines even if drift isn’t a problem : startup isn’t trivial either.
Agreed. Also, even if they did get a heads up, hn is not the place to resolve this kind of dispute. Emailing them, or a lawyer sounds more productive.

Very possible.

We also now know that the Israelis had informed the Iranians just before the attack through diplomatic channels of the impending attack, and that it would only contain specific military objectives.

Is the S300 just that useless? Possible. Did the Iranians decide to not respond and to "take one on the chin" in order to avoid a cycle of ever increasing conflict? Maybe. Had espionage already disabled Iran's air defence system? Also possible. We probably won't know for another 100 years.

Rather than Cheating, don't you mean tortuous interference, followed by vexatious litigation?

When you intentionally design systems with purpose to delay, but overall sabotage, you show malice and you defraud the purchaser (after-the-fact), you also interfere with their business with third-parties, and impose coercive costs that have never been acceptable.

Coercion is generally not accepted by any civilized society that still follow its original founding principles, and coercion and corruption tend to go hand-in-hand.
The AI generated docs definitely need work - a lot of volume without explaining much. For example, figuring out whether the tool will make the links in the target directory, or replace the source with a link to a moved file, is not immediately obvious.

"The movement began in the 1970s with an essay titled “Should Trees Have Standing?—Toward Legal Rights for Natural Objects,” by American law professor Christopher Stone. Stone wrote that the history of law has followed the arc of human moral development, described by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man. “Originally each man had regard only for himself and those of a very narrow circle about him … then ‘his sympathies became more tender and widely diffused.’” The rights-of-nature philosophy shifts the value of nature away from its ability to provide resources for extraction to its capacity to sustain life."

With YouTube, I’m right there with ya. I intentionally have zero engagement with YT shorts, and if given the chance I will opt to “not recommend”. I am not sure if this has done anything to reduce the amount of Shorts I’m shown, but I can say that they haven’t pushed them any harder.

I use this for dedicated/planned watching (learning stuff) and am hoping to expand that: Shorts aren’t the only addicting feature imo. Indie developer, he is active on Mastodon (and very friendly).

This is also a personality trait. Where ADHD has this in the extreme.

I, having ADHD, cannot do any task if it's not motivated by excitement and newness (or forced by raw discipline, which is extremely energy consuming).

In my experience, my pain hasn't been from managing the migration files themselves.

My pain comes from needing to modify the schema in such a way it requires a data migration, reprocessing data to some degree, and managing the migration of that data in a sane way.

You can't just run a simple `INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM old_table`, or anything like that because if the data is large, it takes forever and a failure in the middle could be fairly difficult to recover from.

So what I do is I split the migration into time-based chunks, because nearly every table has a time component that is immutable after writing, but I really want a migration tool that can figure out what that column is, what those chunks are, and incrementally apply a data migration in batches so that if one batch fails I can go in there to investigate and know exactly how much progress on the data migration has been made.

I remember in the late 90s when there were so many alternative interfaces for PCs. It was a great time for exploration on what could be done.

Kando is very pretty, and it can be fun to use an interface like this, but in terms of practicality, text inputs are better.

For example, on my desktop, there's an icon on my taskbar for Firefox, but most of the time, I get my screen to the search bar and type "F" and my system knows I probably want Firefox. Done.

There's a game I play, Astroneer, and it uses a pie interface. I often wish I could just type in what I want. It'd be faster.

I want to love this, but I can type on a keyboard so much faster, and use up so much less cognitive energy doing so than switching my hand to the mouse, pulling up a menu, reading the symbols (even if I have their location memorized) and pulling my wrist/arm in the right direction.

Yeah, I don't think the strike on Iran shed as much light on this question as I'd originally thought it might, but it still seems clearly to be the case that air defense is not a big part of the Axis of Resistance strategy. Ansar Allah fought an open war against Saudi Arabia in the mid-late 2010s, during which the Royal Saudi Air Force routinely flew over Houthi-held territory, and so far as I know they've never verifiably shot a flight down.

Again, I think the most useful model here is Lebanon. Hezbollah has a desultory complement of SAM launchers, but no meaningful control over its airspace.
